If you like giant robots, costumed crime-fighters or computer-generated monkeys, this summer’s cinematic offerings are unlikely to disappoint.

Blockbusters, though, aren’t for everybody. So what is out there if you don’t want to watch Transformers: The Last Knight, Spider-Man: Homecoming or War for the Planet of the Apes?

Well, we have animated sequel Cars 3, animated threequel Despicable Me 3 and Christopher Nolan’s war epic Dunkirk. But whichever way you slice it, they’re really just blockbusters of a different cloth.

So what’s left? More than you might think. Here are a few films you might want to check out if you’re after something a little bit different.

Equipped with a great cast, a cool soundtrack and plenty of tyre-squealing mayhem, it’s a slick piece of Tarantino-esque car-nage with a little bit more substance that your average Fast and the Furious.

With the exception of Downton Abbey’s Lily James, it is something of an all-male affair though.
